I called mjg an idiot and he called me a "lame brained cunt".
There was a little bit of tit for tat offense exchanging nothing interesting then he legged it.
It's possible he did not appreciate my admission that his description of me was correct. Perhaps that threw him off kilter.

Oh dear - yes I see he was a bit of a silly billy there 🤯 Did I miss it? I didn't see anything untoward. After having a go at @rusty69 he got worse. I was baiting him because he had a go, in his yapping yorkie manner and seemed to drive rusty away. It will be a fafafafar better place without Martin in a moody. Steve's new iteration seems a bit more pleasant than the others too.

The main problem is that there are not enough active contributors willing to initiate new threads and get genuine original discussion shit going. It's been a fairly obvious issue for quite a long time on here and has resulted in a few valuable contributors declining to add content because of the lack of diversity. We need more [word removed]. Some people have a go at naughtyfox for example but realistically would the forum still exist without the volume he has provided? Ok a lot of it is bollocks but it is content. Content as in "what is in your bag?" Rather than "I am happy". The quality of content will obviously override the drivel foxy , and occasionally yourself post. Quantity has no value whatsoever if it's just drivel. Foxy, and sometimes yourself post repetitive remarks and comments that just fill the forum with bloatware. Magnetman has provided us with a lot of laughs. And a lot of interesting angles. Can't people just skip through the chaff and home in on what really interests them? Instead of pouring cold water on those they disapprove of.

Yes but... Sometimes racist and nasty posts need challenging, that is a different thing.

There will always be personality clashes. I sometimes wonder if that's why canalworld did the banter thing. Get people together in a pub and it's easier to get a general idea of what is happening. Obviously with TB a group meeting is more or less impossible due to the whole geography thing but it's theoretically a sound idea. Henley wetherspoons then is it ? I'm buying the drinks

Ok thanks for the feedback. For the record my random use of "idiot" was an attempt to emulate Tomsk with his "twat" thing. Nothing malicious in it at all. It is a humourous reference to an unmoderated forum where the majority of posters do not know each other personally. How can offense ever be taken seriously in this sort of circumstance?? I deleted my earlier post directed at you as I realised you might not appreciate it. Carry on Pages of 'hilarious' exchanges of insults between yourself and mjg ( or anyone else ) isn't likely to encourage anyone to post. We all know there are very many visitors to here who never post ... I actually believe the 'agro' and bad language puts posters off, much more than a lack of new threads, but who knows. My preference on here is the meaningless ( but chatty ) threads. Rog

I'm sure internet forums would make a good PhD study.

Carry on As it happens, not being over-familiar with any of you has often led to self-moderation on my part for precisely that reason. Still, I suppose that's what smileys are for.

By the way @someboater , for what it's worth, I did notice that it appeared to be mjg who would seize on any opportunity to leap into abusive language. I mentioned some days ago I took a while to 'tune in' to your humour ... I suspect some may misunderstand your reposts ... initially anyway Rog
